A populist that will lose the popular vote. Interesting that trump will lose popular vote.

Democrats almost always win the popular vote in the modern era, though. 6 of the last 7 Democratic candidates won the popular vote count.

I've been in favor of doing away with our current system of voting either by relying solely on popular vote, or getting rid of the electoral college and implementing ranked choice voting. 2000 should've taught us all that lesson because it lead to two wars, a tanked economy, a housing crisis, 9/11, and losing most of the city of New Orleans.

But to have that discussion now would just seem like sour grapes and I really don't want to play any role in dividing people up further.

Trump won. He's our President now and we should all wish him well for the sake of the civility.

No, Trump is a populist. He says whatever the crowd he's speaking to wants to hear, hence his flip-flops on everything from the wall to abortion.

Why are you not calling out Hillary for her flip-flops?

Gay marriage, crime, gun control, and many others.

See, you're being a blind superfan again. You should have learned to open your mind to other sides besides your team's, what with all the egg on your face because of your oh so overconfident Hillary prediction.

It wasn't so much the voters here. Again, your team's leadership made that bed. They jobbed Sanders, and the e-mails proved it. Don't blame the voters, blame your team's front office.

And here you are, still out of touch with reality.

Yes, you Democrat superfans and Grubers screw up over and over and over. How do you think the disasters that are Detroit, Chicago, and California happened, if not for your team's huge decades-long winning streaks in those places?
